Cinnamon Vanilla Superfood Protein Pancake

Protein pancakes are one of the greatest loves of my life. Superfoods are another. xoxoxoxo.

For these cinnamon vanilla pancakes I started with the protein pancake base recipe I use most often (2 egg whites, 1 scoop protein powder, splash unsweetened almond milk) and added a heavy hand of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract. Then I moved on to toppings. This batch has Siggi’s “icelandic” style yogurt (plain), hemp hearts, chia seeds, blackberries, and bananas. Superfood paradise.

Super important note – I used a plant-based protein powder for this batch (Sunwarrior and Perfect Fit are my favorite). The ratios/consistency will be different if you use a different type of protein (speaking from experience!). Adjust as needed so that your pancake batter looks like traditional pancake batter.

Toppings:

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in the smallest blender cup of a magic bullet blender. This is by far the easiest way to blend your batter. Your batter should be the consistency of traditional pancake batter.

Heat pan to medium heat

Once pan is medium-hot, spray it with cooking spray or coconut oil

Pour batter on to medium-hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side. This will seem like a long time but it’s the secret to success. Slow cooking on medium-low heat. If you rush it you’ll end up with protein pancake scramble. 😉
